As the instructions on this site are close to worthless I thought I would share mine. To setup my ionic I had to do the following. Note that I nearly typed iconic as in the setup of this device is iconic and takes me back to the setup of my first PC in the early 80's.
1. Turn on device
2. download fitbit app on cell phone
3. run app
4. add device in app
5. select device - phone will search for device
-Problems? Check the compatibility list, fitbit is compatible with IOS and about 20 android devices. If your device isn't compatible, find an old phone, I'm using a galaxy S7.
6. connect device to WiFi as prompted, supposedly this is faster than Bluetooth- not sure if both phone and fitbit need to be connected to wifi at the same time? I didn't try but it failed.
7. Connect device to Bluetooth, turn Bluetooth on on phone, connect through the app
8. after a successful connection you must update the device. This process is reminiscent of the Fallout 76 patches which were released approx one day after the game hit the shelves and were 50 gig. Plan on the update taking at least an hour and don't touch the phone or the device during that time. If you do you will have to delete everything and start over from scratch.
9. Someday the update should finish and I will be able to see the phone.
So far the fitbit is making a HUGE difference, I just spent 2 hours trying to set it up and now I don't have time to work out.
